Plagiarize is an accademic and professional abmonition which occurs when the subject uses others' ideas or writings and clearly presents them as their own in formal presentations. It has nothing to do with postings for discussion on a BB. Nothing here is a professional or academic presentation.
It also has nothing to do with copyright. In fact you can be found to have palgiarized public domain material.
The proper definition is: To appropriate and pass off as one's own the writings, ideas, etc., of another.
Ignorant Bushtards like 12pole use the term plagiarize all the time and don't know what they're talking about. 12pole is just an angry and confused little sissy.
I have never claimed others' work as my own here or anywhewre else. Stupid people like 12pole may think I write the news articles poated here, but we can't dumb the whole world down for people like 12hole.

Reamond, you can tell a person 2+2=4 and have proof to back up your statement, but there are some people here that still would not believe you.

12hole is terribly frustrated that his arguments about homosexuals have no validity in America. Not to mention that people who really love this country reject the hate filled and empty assertions about same sex marriages.

These regional differences are virtually gone.
VERY untrue. There are many cultural differences between the states....especially on issues of all gay issues, gun control and abortion. They might all have access to the same media information....but they sure don't have agreement with those in the highly populated areas [CA, FL, NY] on what should be done about them.
People in New York are concerned about the Alaskan wilderness, just as those on South Carolina are concerned about water issues in Nevada.
Concerned yes....think alike NO!! Just as NY and most extremist environmentialist groups oppose drilling for oil in Alaska....the state, it's elected officials - Senators - Governor and most of it's people all want it opened for drilling - for the jobs it would bring - for the financial benefits it would bring to their state. Totally opposed to what CA, FL and NY would tend to vote to approve. Regional difference - VERY much so.

No there is not. The differences noted are not between states, but between red neck regions and urban/suburban regions that occur in every state.

Wrong. If all these New York electedofficials werefor drilling in the nature preserves, then it would be done.
The differences are not between states but between red necks and civilized people in every state.

Oh yea...sure...now the majority of Alaskians are 'red necks'.
No, they like a lot of states, don't want the ultra-liberals running their lives - they want their voices heard and counted, and they are with the electoral college.
It will be a long, long time before our national voting system goes to the popular vote...over the electoral college...IF ever.

reamond can you be anymore wrong? I think not... best get out that bathroom son and see a little of the world... give that arm a rest... but then you do know you really can't go blind for doing that don't you?

If we have another situation like the 2000 election I think there would be some changes in order.
The only reason why the electoral college has worked for the past 200 years is the fact that in all but 2 or 3 elections the electoral college votes duplicated the total popular vote - the electoral college choose the President based on whom the people wanted.
Linda if you still believe the electoral college is a good thing, then you can not possibly still believe the President is choosen by the people.

Linda still believes Bush won the popular vote, in spite of the congressional record, so pretty much anything's possible.

Would have, should have, might have, but didn't. The official record gives the popular vote to Gore, by a half million votes. He won it, according to the Federal Election Commission. What Fox News wanted to happen is historically irrelevant. No two ways about it.

Can't blame Fox News for this one, profe.
As my link to the election results show.....this group is who was hired to do the review.....and came to these conclusions.
Florida Ballots Project
A group of the largest news organizations in the United States selected NORC to provide the definitive picture of the Florida ballots in the uncertified presidential election of November 2000. The media group chose NORC for this work because of NORC's long-standing reputation for nonpartisan, objective, and analytically rigorous data collection and analysis. Kirk Wolter, NORC's Senior Vice President of Statistics and Methodology and Professor of Statistics at the University of Chicago, has directed NORC's effort on the project.

And the news media that asked for this to be done was the following ones:
The group includes The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Tribune Publishing, CNN, Associated Press, the St. Petersburg Times and the Palm Beach Post. (Tribune, based in Chicago, owns the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, Newsday, the Orlando Sentinel and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, among others. Washington Post Co. owns the Post and Newsweek. The New York Times owns the Boston Globe and the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, among others.)
